All right, I have another picture of myself, holding another bird with a sad story.

This is Hera. As you can tell, she is a Common Raven. What's not so common about her is that she is blind. Now, I think the fact that a bird can survive being blind is much more than a human. Why? Well, for starters, they can't find food. Humans can always find help from other humans.

Someone found Hera walking around in their backyard, and wondered why she wouldn't fly away when they went up to her.

So, they called us, and we later found out she was blind, most likely due to a brain problem that was most likely due to her flying into a window. Being blind and with brain damage is not a good thing, and probably no other bird would survive it. However, Hera, being a Raven, is very intelligent. She has figured out quite a few things.

First, she has memorized her two enclosures- one outside, one inside, for night- and she learned how to use her beak as a human would a cane. She has also learned to tell apart our voices. When we call her, she faces the direction of the sound. She has learned to step up onto the glove when told a command (step up) or when we lightly tap our glove on her foot. Whenever she is outside on the glove with us, she has learned never to try to fly away or leave the glove. Also, when it is hot, she pants, a bit like a dog (this is normal for all birds of prey). So, we lightly spray her with a water bottle we keep with us. She then faces the direction of the spray and opens her mouth wider, so she can get a drink. *wub*

What an interesting story!

You seem to know a lot about birds of 'prey': Are ravens or crows kept as household pets, or is that unethical? X-D

It's actually illegal to keep ravens as pets; I think that you can get some species of crow as a pet.

One of the reasons it's illegal to keep ravens as pets is that they're too smart for their own good. The other raven we have, Stark, used to be someone's pet. They took him illegally from the nest when he was a chick, and they raised him. They let him free fly around the house every day. Being smart, Stark would go over to the neighbor's house and try to beg, via jumping up and down on their kid's heads and squawking. The neighbors told the owner that they would take matters into their own hands if the owner didn't stop.

That's how he got his name; He was driving the neighbors "stark" raving mad. X-D

Also: Ravens and crows aren't really birds of prey, sorry about that. The name "birds of prey" comes from their more accurate name, Raptor. The name raptor comes from the latin word "Rapere", which means "to seize". In the bird of prey world, a Raptor is a carnivorous bird that kills prey with it's feet, rather than the more mistaken assumption that a bird of prey is a bird that eats meat. Therefore, carnivorous birds like the Raven or the vulture aren't really birds of prey. Well, the Raven isn't really grouped with birds of prey, though, is it? It's in the Corvid family. X-D

Did you get that? Sorry, I get a bit enthusiastic. X-D I should start up a "amazing facts" thread to put this stuff in. It is quite interesting.

Hmmm.. never knew that!

I knew they wern't birds of prey, I just didn't know what to call them.

Also, on the bird topic, my parrot like to lick my teeth and bite them. Is that bad? X-D

(Don't worry, she's a girl!)

All birds aside, since this is the user pic thread, this is the closest pic anyones gonna get to me!
